/sci/ - Science & Math

Depends on the results of the scientific research you put it towards.

>>8460618
Depends... Is it a nigger stealing that money?

>>8460618

Don't you mean stealing one dollar per person from a hundred people vs. stealing one hundred dollars all from one person?

>>8460647
did i stutter

>>8460650

If you keep it the way it's originally written, who would pick anything other than the first option as the worse one and why?

>>8460657
Interesting. Why do you say that?

>>8460650
nope you merely shitposted

>>8460667
You're stealing more money from more people. What's not worse about it?

>>8460752
What if the 100 people were all billionaires and the one guy was a homeless veteran?

>>8460762
then it isn't a fucking scientific question - it's a moral one

>>8460804
>morality

>Scientifically speaking,
Can we please make this phrase (and all variants) an auto-filter and auto-ban (a week long at least)?

You shouldn't be able to just put that in front of your bullshit, pointless, not-related-to-science thread topic and get away it with. You don't see people going on /pol/ and typing
>Politically speaking, what is the best brand of laundry detergent?
or on /mu/ and asking
>Musically speaking, how should I cook a risotto?
God, fuck all of you, and fuck popsci because I'm sure that's the reason mouthbreathers make these threads, thinking that everything can be explained "scientifically".

hell, that's a good idea, anon

Scientifically speaking neither. There is no scientific evidence that it is morally bad to steal from people. So you can not scientifically say one is worse than the other one. I guess stealing just $1 is worse if you can have $100

>>8460762
Stealing from either is equally wrong

The relative rudeness function is of the form [math]r(n) = 1 - e^{-n}[/math], where n is the number of people robbed.

Compared to most of what gets posted on /pol/, that question is extremely political.

>>8461320
Not scientifically. There is no scientific evidence it is wrong in any way.

NICE AND HOT

There's no scientific reason for stealing money and the way you're phrasing it doesn't make sense. Let's say the problem is maximizing money, if we wanted to get $10,000 ($100*100P) we would need to also get 10,000 people to give us $1 or as you state steal $1 from 10,000 people. If the goal is simply get to $10,000 you may have better luck just asking 10,000 for $1 than stealing $100 from 100 people. If you're stealing the money for yourself then there's a moral issue with taking things that don't belong from you, but even if you were stealing from the rich to give to the poor you're still stealing.

worse in what way?
